A Giant Dinosaur Bone Found 2 Meters Tall And Weighing 500 Kilograms
A dinosaur fossil in
France has once again exposed the enormous dimensions of the dinosaurs. The
dinosaur, the owner of this 2-meter-long bone, became the largest dinosaur in
the world.
Once upon a time
people were not the dominant species on earth. The judge of the green blue mud
ball we lived on were dinosaurs. Only fossils remained from these creatures
today.
The newly found
gigantic femur bone is 140 million years old and the about 2 meters long. The weight of this bone,
which is longer than a normal person, also reaches 500 kilograms.
As a result of the examination, it was revealed that the
bone belongs to a dinosaur species called Sauropods. These creatures are known
as the world's largest herbivorous dinosaurs. Although this species normally
appears at the end of the Triassic Period, this fossil remains from the
Jurassic Period.
The fossil was found
in clay soil by volunteers from the Nations Natural History Museum.
Researchers hope to
be able to build an entire Sauropod skeleton using the bones found in the area.
It was found that there was also a pelvis buried in the same layer.
The Charente region
of France is a very important fossil deposit. Since 2010, 7500 bones have been
found in the region. It turned out that these bones belong to 45 different
dinosaur species.
The team states that the construction of the dinosaur skeleton is now half completed. How fast the process is completed depends on the speed at which fossils are found and removed.
